Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A truly stunning wildlife experience with a programme organised to perfection. We've been on many wildlife holidays and tours and this was probably the best curated we've ever had. The organisation and logistics all ran smoothly and the Wild Poland team were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and personable. We learnt so much not just about the birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, invertebrates and flora of two wonderful areas but also geography and history that's impacted Poland over several centuries culminating in the current war in neighbouring Ukraine. With the war and conflicts with Belarus, we carefully thought about making this trip but we were delighted we made the effort. As so many Polish people said to us: "The war is in Ukraine, not in Poland". We felt safe at all times and we believe that supporting the economy of Poland, while the country and its people are providing huge help to war refugees, was an important decision which we're delighted we took.

Really wonderful nature trip, our guide Lukasz was extremely knowledgeable and had the knack for finding the wildlife. Our driver was really nice and funny, and the hotel and food were top-notch. Planning to take another tour with these guys in the new year it was so good.

Very well organised. Good guides and logistics worked well. Good hotel and food.
It’s pretty intense with early starts to see the wildlife. It’s a beautiful and peaceful area and well worth visiting!

After a few days in Warsaw, we wanted to know something about the wild life in west Poland...
We choosed “4 days Elk safari and Beaver watching” trip with Wild Poland organisation after reading the excellent reviews about it.
With our guide, Lucasz, my husband and I visited a lot of nice places ! .
We enjoyed very much several walks in the beautiful nature of Poland.
We had great moments spotting the star of Biebrza marshes: the Elk, but not only....
we could also see foxes, a vison, many birds like cranes or eagles...
I especially remember an evening walk in the forest, hearing the deers in the dark, and suddenly discovering a couple of immobile elks close to us...Lucasz spotted them!
Finally, the beaver trip on the river, in a boat under the moon light was just amazing!
Lucasz is a real professional of nature.
The Hotel in Dwór Dobarz and its food was also very good.
We highly recommend this company!

This is the time all travel stops. It helps to ease the pain when we recall the fond memories of past travels
Poland is one of the best destinations I love most. One of the main contributors is the Wild Poland Bison Safari Tour. Our guide Bart was very knowledgeable, not only in terms of wildlife and the Bialowieza Forest, but also in the history of Poland. He also had the special skill in imitating the chirping of woodpeckers. Our driver Patrick was a fun guy, and brought us a lot of joy in our conversations.
We had joined the 4 days 3 nights Bison Safari tour in October 2019 when the leaves started to turn yellow, and the scenery of Bialowieza Forest was at its best. This was an amazing tour. We spotted a lot of wild animals: the Bison, deer, owl, woodpecker and beavers.
We had many great walks in different parts of the Forest. Our guide Bart would bring us to various parts of the forest, so we could experience different landscapes. The protected area, though, was the most amazing part. There had never been any logging inside the protected area. The area mostly kept its primeval nature. When we stepped into it, it gave you a sense of pure magic. If some spiritual beings appeared before your very eyes, you would be less surprise here than elsewhere. To enter the protected area, we were led by another professional guide. The charming lady was so full of energy and passion that she seemed to be the most eager one to get into the area. She had a very good camera, and captured many great shots of birds.
Our group comprised of 3 couples: Jo and A.J., Heather and Geoff, and us. We felt lucky to have such good companions. During meals and our long walks, we always had some good conversations. We were interested in Poland, and Bart would tell us lots about the history of Poland and how it was like living in Poland, especially the change from Communism to Democracy.
The tour also offered excellent accommodation. We all lived in 2-storeyed wooden house. The interior was clean and cozy. It blends perfectly with the surrounding. The owner of the hotel was a kind old man. He prepared excellent meals for us, and every dinner we had different desserts. Once, he also served us the famous vodka of Poland.
At last, I wanted to tell a joke. Jo and us were living adjacent to each other on the ground floor, so when she was smoking outside her apartment, she could hear all our talking in Cantonese. One morning, she told us that last night she heard me laughing. She claimed that the laugh was so contagious that in the end she laughed with me. She made me understand that I was that happy during the trip. Now, the joke. In another morning, Jo asked Bart why he had to imitate the chirping of a woodpecker during the last evening. Bart was confused and denied. Jo, however, insisted that Bart was playing a joke on her. Later, when we were alone, my wife and I talked about the curious event. At that evening, my wife was playing the video of Bart imitating the chirping of the woodpecker. She played it again and again as we were amazed by Bart’s special skill. We believed that was the reason behind Jo’s claim. Later, we forgot to explain the reasons to them. If Bart and Jo happen to see this review, they will have one of their hardest mysteries in their lives solved. I hope that they will have a good laugh too.
All in all, it was an extremely pleasant trip. We thank Wild Poland, Bart and Patrick, and all our companions for giving us a great time.
I wish everything fine in Poland and in your excellent company Wild Poland. I hope in the future I can join your tours again.

I spent a weekend in May doing several guided trips with Wild Poland in the Biebzra Marshes. I went on a wolf tracking trip, beaver watching by boat and a dawn walk in the marsh. Lukasz, our guide, was excellent. He was great at spotting birds and mammals but also full of interesting information about the history and wildlife of the area. He was also a really nice guy. I would definitely go on a trip with Wild Poland again.

I am just back from a wonderful winter wildlife watching holiday in remote North East Poland with naturalist Lukasz Mazurek, owner of Wild Poland. We were based in two places: Bialowieza forest, one of the last remaining primeval forests in Europe, and the Biebrza marshes, one of the largest European wildlife refuges. These areas are the home of wild European bison, wolves, lynx, elk, beavers, wild boar, otters, eagles, to name just a few species. We walked and drove on special routes through the forest and marshes designed with great insider knowledge by Lukasz. It was stunningly beautiful, and full of wildlife and their tracks in the snow. We did not see wolves or lynx (you would have to be insanely lucky), but pretty much everything else (e.g. bison, elk, otter, and white-tailed eagles from close-up), and we saw loads of fresh wolf tracks and followed them through the snowy landscape. Lukasz is a superb naturalist and guide, always finding animals, birds and tracks, but also sharing his large knowledge and insight in the history, culture, and politics of the areas you are in. The week-long trip was very well organised (if you fly to Warsaw you are picked up there), we were a small group of 5 from different countries, and we had a lovely time. We stayed in two lovely Polish guesthouses, and ate brilliant food. I did not know Polish food was so good, and I am vegetarian too!
If you are looking for an authentic, richly rewarding (and affordable) wildlife holiday in a remote European region, you have found it. Check out the Wild Poland website for their wildlife trips at other times of the year too.

"If you've only seen what you came to see, you probably missed out a lot." This is their motto, and is actually 100% correct. I've joined their tours with some particular goals, but discovered so much more.
I've been on two trips: spring festival in Bialowieza & Carpathian Mammals in October. Both really different and excellent.
My main goal was to see wolves & bison. But in the end I've seen much more and learned so much. For example, I learned a lot about tracking which is actually much more exciting than I expected. Seen so many birds in Bialowieza which got me much more excited than I would have guessed. And I learned a lot of small things on all the animals (mammals and birds). The walks are always a bit different and so beautiful. Bialowieza is really special because of their unique forest management. The Carpathians offer unique scenery with their nice hills mixed with meadows and forest.
The guides do really their best so you would see what you want to see. In the Carpathians we were a bit unlucky due to the weather. And we could see that our guide doubled the efforts to have more results. We've still seen quite a lot including 3 bison and a wolf that was hunting a hare ( a few meters away, but just a 2 seconds). We missed a brown bear by less than 5minutes (we met someone that saw a brown bear up close a few minutes ahead of us). So surprisingly good if you take the (unusual) bad weather in consideration. We had already enough to be happy about. And still the guide was doubling efforts so we could see more because he knew that we could have had better. And that there is more to see out there. This is a real commitment towards their clients.
They don't just walk with you. They know their locations, study the area, talk with locals (scientist) and keep track of the animals. They know where to go to increase your chances to see some mammals / birds. And I confirm it works, I've seen a lot. And when we didn't see the species we wanted, we've seen lots of tracks of their activity.
The knowledge of these guides is also impressive. I had 5 in total and they all surprised me with all the things they knew about all those animals. And they were always friendly, nice and patient. Listening to our "needs / demands" in some occasions too. They also take the time to explain about the Polish and local history and culture.
The rooms I had were always basic but nice, need nothing more for such a trip. Food was delicious! Discovered many central / east European dishes. And there was always enough.
List of things I've seen on those two trips (which I can remember, not putting all the birds here): 1x wolf, 5x bison (one 20m away!), 2x moose/elk, 2x raccoon dogs, 2x beaver, countless red and roe deer, foxes, hares, 2x pine martens, 1x stone marten, 5 kind of wood pecker, pygmy owl, really big tawny owl, kingfisher, nutcracker, hazel grouse, 2x common crane, a lot of stork, lesser spotted eagle, and many more.
To summarize, Poland has a lot to offer: beautiful scenery, good food, nice people and a lot of wildlife. Wild Poland is an excellent and trustworthy partner to go with that I would recommend to all people I know in the search of these kind of experiences.

We did the 4 day Bison and Wolf Tracking Safari with Andrzej in early October and can say unequivocally that this was THE highlight of our 5 1/2 week central European adventure. The beautiful destination, Andrzej's extensive experience as both a guide and a professional biologist, his commitment to maximising our wildlife watching and educational opportunities, as well as the sheer professionalism of the Wild Poland company left us thoroughly impressed - in fact so impressed that we are returning (from Australia!) later this year for their 15 day Grand Tour. We also enjoyed the rustic charm of Wejmutka and were thrilled with how well our vegetarian diet was catered for. Don't hesitate - book a tour today!

We, 3 of us, will be visiting Bialowieza, this 10-13 August. We have already booked reservations at Stoczek 1929 and would like to tour the National Park on the 12 of August. Do you have an English speaking guide available on this day? Do we need to book in advance or just come visit your office? I was pleased to read your many excellent reviews and responses on Trip Advisor. Your response is appreciated. Sincerely, Chris V
Written 4 July 2018
Dear Chris, thank you for your positive comments and interest in our services. We actually don't organise dedicated trips to the National Park, we offer package tours and our visits in the park are always part of a package. So unfortunatelly we cannot help this time, but there are several local companies in Białowieża that do so and do provide English speaking guides. You will find more contact details directly at the website of Białowieża National Park / Tourism / Guides and tourist offices.
Hope you will find it helpful!

What is the likelihood of seeing and hearing wolves?
Written 7 February 2016
Thanks for asking. Seeing wolves here is not easy. On average we have one sighting a year. Hearing them is much more likely, especially in summer. On most tours we see their tracks, droppings and other signs of activity.
